===Image Properties Window does not display fully in Site Information Display===

+

*''Problem'': When editing the Site Information Display (Home>Options), users can not view the entire image properties window. The options "OK" and "Cancel" are hidden.

*''Workaround'': After specifying the height and width, press the Enter key. This will insert the image. Alternatively, you can also edit the site information display by navigating to Site Info>Edit Site Information.

*''Problem'': The recently released Adobe Flash 11.3 update, in conjunction with RealPlayer, prevents videos and Flash Player content from playing properly in Firefox 13. Users also experienced issues using Adobe Connect with this new update. Adobe has released a [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/enduser-release-notes-11_3.html patch] to this update (11.3.300.262), however some users are still reporting audio distortion and crashes within Firefox.

+

*''Workaround'': Adobe has recommended possible workarounds, which can be found [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html here]. Adobe also provides instructions for reverting to a previous version of Flash [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1022066?tstart=0 here].

*''Problem'': At this time, the “Set Ungraded Items to Zero” option in Gradebook for items created via the Gradebook is not working as intended. If you’re using Gradebook rather than Gradebook 2 in your e-Learning course, you will need to use one of the following workarounds to ensure correct overall course grades:

+

*''Workaround'': Open each gradebook item in Gradebook 2 and click the box next to “Give ungraded no credit” or Explicitly enter a zero for any student who has no score in a gradebook item.

+

*''Workaround'': You can do the same thing with manually created groups.

*''Problem'': Some users may see extra tools on the My Workspace page - such as Syllabus, Roster, Podcasts, etc. that should not be there.

===Toolbar Does Not Display When Using IE7===

+

*''Problem'': After a maintenance was performed on March 8, 2012, the toolbar no longer shows up in IE7. Other browsers are performing with no problem.

+

*''Workaround'': Install a newer version of IE or user another browser until the problem can be corrected. If you do not have access to another browser,use the alternate login: https://elearning2.courses.ufl.edu/portal/pda.

*''Problem'': Announcements in My Workspace > Recent Announcements are sorting per course chronologically and not based on all announcements in all courses one has access to.

+

*''Workaround'': Please sort the messages by "Site" and you can increase the number of announcements to more than 20 to see all the posts from your various sites Or go to the course site to view the announcements.

*''Problem'': In Firefox 11, when an instructor goes to the Question Pools, opens the pool and clicks on the title of the question, the question text and answer boxes appear empty. When an instructor is trying to view the student submission in an essay question, the answer box appears empty.

+

*''Workaround'': Use IE or Chrome browsers. In Firefox 11, you can click the "view full screen" icon and see and edit the question text there. You can also see and edit the text in the HTML code.

*''Problem'': We have noticed some problematic behavior in Assessments when used with Respondus LockDown Browser. In Assessments, if the "force completion" option is enabled, students will be locked out from the quiz entirely. In Assessments, there is no way to currently force completion of quizzes.

+

*''Workaround'': In Assessments, we encourage you not to enable the "force completion" option. This option is currently not functional.

+

*''Problem'': Some Turnitin reports are not generated.

+

*''Workaround'': The Turnitin company has verified that a MS Word document that has been saved in a different version will not generate a report. For example: a student begins a paper on a laptop computer that is running MS Word 2007, but finishes the paper on a machine that is running MS Word 2010. This paper will not generate a Turnitin report unless the student saves the final version as a MS Word 2007 document.

+

Many of the files that do not get a report have naming convention issues. Make sure students know that their files should not have spaces in the name and should only have one extension. Do not use characters in the file name other than letters, numbers, - or _.

+

Sometimes the file actually does get submitted to Turnitin, but does not generate a report icon. To see if there is a report there, click on any other student's Turnitin report and at the top of that screen you will see a link that says "Paper # of #." Click that link. You will see a drop-down of all reports. See if the student's report is in the list.

===Some Grades Not Released When Instructor Clicks "Return to Student."===

+

*''Problem'': On occasion, the "Return to Student" option does not release the grade to the students. The Instructor's work is saved, but the grade is not released.

+

*''Workaround'': On the Submissions page, check the box beside the name of the student and click '''Release Grades''' at the upper right corner of the screen.

===Resubmission Date Overrides Accept Until Date===

+

*''Problem'': When the Resubmission Date falls before the Accept Until Date, and an instructor opens, grades or saves any student submissions, the Resubmission Date overrides the Accept Until date. This disables all other students in the course from submitting to the assignment, even though the Accept Until date occurs in the future.

+

*''Workaround'': Instructors wanting to use the resubmission option should choose a Resubmission date that is either the same as the Accept Until Date or occurs in the future. If they want to choose a Resubmission date that falls before the Accept Until Date, they should not open any student submissions until the Accept Until Date has passed. The other option is to not allow resubmissions in the Assignment settings and to manually allow students to resubmit during the grading process.

*''Problem'': An update was recently made to the system that adds the UFID column and the Section number column to the file when Gradebook 2 is downloaded. This was done to provide the information for grade submission to Grade-A-Gator. The problem occurs if you try to import that file back into Gradebook 2.

===Terminology Incorrect When Using the "Grade Using Percentage" in Gradebook 2===

+

*''Problem'': In Gradebook 2, if you set the "Grade Using:" option to "Percentage," the creation of Gradebook Items (columns) still asks for "points" when it should say "Percentage of total grade."

+

*''Workaround''" The tool actually functions the way it should, it is just the terminology that is off. When grading by percentages all columns are worth 100 points. When you are creating a new column, in the field where it asks you to enter the "Points," enter the "Percentage of total grade."

+

===Extra Credit issue when using No Categories in Gradebook 2===

You can still add new items as extra credit, however you can't edit them to remove the extra credit option once this setting has been applied.

+

*''Workaround'': The workaround is to use Categories in Gradebook 2 if you need multiple extra credit items.

===Automatic Email from Add Participant not working===

*''Problem'': The option to Send an Email, when Adding a Participant to the course site, does not work correctly. The email does not clearly state that the person has been added to a course in e-Learning.

+

*''Workaround'': Send a mail message to the user with the Mail tool after adding the user to the course site.

*''Problem'': The Syllabus tool offers the option to "redirect" which lets you enter the url of a file in Resources or on the web. This option works fine as along as the file you are pointing to is an HTML file. But pointing to a PDF or MSWord file or other type of static text file doesn't always work.

+

*''Workaround'': Use "create" option instead of "redirect" option or if you want to use "redirect," point to an HTML file.

===T&Q Inputs "Null" in Feedback When Using Markup Text (Cut and Paste from Text Document)===

+

*''Problem'': If you cut and paste from a text document to create the assessment, the word "null" will be inserted into all the feedback boxes. The word "null" ''does not'' appear to students if feedback is enabled, so this isn't technically a "bug."

*''Problem'': Under certain circumstances, test submissions cannot be exported, this is typically seen when we have a large number of submissions (200 or more), when delivered to a select group of individuals, or when random questions are used for delivering the exam.

*''Problem'': Instructors cannot view the scores for any quizzes delivered to groups in Tests & Quizzes.

+

*''Workaround'': Currently there is no workaround for this issue and no way to view the scores when delivered to groups, but we are hoping to find a resolution soon. We encourage instructors to transition to Assessments in the interim. Directions for doing so can be found [https://lss.at.ufl.edu/help/T_and_Q_to_Assessments here.] In Assessments, instructors can set up a quiz with a password to deliver to select groups.

Turnitin Report Not Always Generated

Workaround: The Turnitin company has verified that a MS Word document that has been saved in a different version will not generate a report. For example: a student begins a paper on a laptop computer that is running MS Word 2007, but finishes the paper on a machine that is running MS Word 2010. This paper will not generate a Turnitin report unless the student saves the final version as a MS Word 2007 document.

Many of the files that do not get a report have naming convention issues. Make sure students know that their files should not have spaces in the name and should only have one extension. Do not use characters in the file name other than letters, numbers, - or _.
Sometimes the file actually does get submitted to Turnitin, but does not generate a report icon.

Resubmission Date Overrides Accept Until Date

Problem: When the Resubmission Date falls before the Accept Until Date, and an instructor opens, grades or saves any student submissions, the Resubmission Date overrides the Accept Until date. This disables all other students in the course from submitting to the assignment, even though the Accept Until date occurs in the future.

Workaround: Instructors wanting to use the resubmission option should choose a Resubmission date that is either the same as the Accept Until Date or occurs in the future. If they want to choose a Resubmission date that falls before the Accept Until Date, they should not open any student submissions until the Accept Until Date has passed. The other option is to not allow resubmissions in the Assignment settings and to manually allow students to resubmit during the grading process.

Instructor Comments in the Assignments Shows HTML Tags

Problem: When a grader leaves comments for the student in the "comments" box, the student sees HTML coding in the text.

Workaround: If the student submission was made using the "inline" submission box, the instructor can post comments by putting her/his comments in { {double curly brackets } }. The instructor comments appear in red to the student. If the student has submitted a Word document, download the file and make your comments by using "track changes" in Word. Add the edited submission as your feedback.

Can't open Attachments in Discussions

Problem: If someone adds a file attachment to a Mail or Discussions post, the file will not open if there are spaces in the file name.

Workaround: Do not attach a document with a space in the file name. Use _ or - instead of spaces. One may also replace the "+" sign in the URL where the space is with a "%20" and this will display the page.

Users Get Email When New Post is Made to Discussions

Problem: The default setting in Discussions is that users get an email notification every time a post is made to a Discussion topic that the user has posted to in the past. This isn't actually a "bug," as this is the common default on discussion board and blogs on the internet, but in large classes the quantity of emails is problematic.

Workaround: Go to Discussions and click on Watch at the top of the screen. Change your preference to "Do not send notification."

Problem: An update was recently made to the system that adds the UFID column and the Section number column to the file when Gradebook 2 is downloaded. This was done to provide the information for grade submission to Grade-A-Gator. The problem occurs if you try to import that file back into Gradebook 2. The imported file will convert the UFID to the student name and the import will fail.

Workaround: Delete the UFID column and the Section column before importing the file.

Status: This has been resolved for Gradebook 2 with the 2.9 upgrade. UFID and section can now be included in Gradebook 2 imports. --Rayne 1 May 2013 (EDT)

Terminology Incorrect When Using the "Grade Using Percentage" in Gradebook 2

Problem: In Gradebook 2, if you set the "Grade Using:" option to "Percentage," the creation of Gradebook Items (columns) still asks for "points" when it should say "Percentage of total grade."

Workaround" The tool actually functions the way it should, it is just the terminology that is off. When grading by percentages all columns are worth 100 points. When you are creating a new column, in the field where it asks you to enter the "Points," enter the "Percentage of total grade."

Status: Under investigation. This is a design of Gradebook 2 that we can't control. It is well-documented in the tutorial.--Jolaine 11:15, 23 January 2013 (EST)

Extra Credit issue when using No Categories in Gradebook 2

Problem: In Gradebook 2, when you are using no categories, you are able to edit only a single item as extra credit. If you attempt to edit another item, the extra credit option is disabled. You can still add new items as extra credit, however you can't edit them to remove the extra credit option once this setting has been applied.

Workaround: The workaround is to use Categories in Gradebook 2 if you need multiple extra credit items.

Gradebook 2 "Drop Lowest Score(s)" Doesn't Display Properly

Problem: In Gradebook 2, when dropping the lowest score(s) in a category, zeros that are added by checking the "Give Ungraded No Credit" box are not shown as "dropped." The calculations are accurate, but the zero is not shown in red with a strike through.

Workaround: Manually insert a 0 for the student

Status: Under Investigation.

Gradebook Won't Export if Students are Enrolled Who are Not Associated With Roster

Problem: If you have any students enrolled in your course who are not associated with a roster, for example a CE Student, Student or Auditor that you added manually rather than through the Registrar, Gradebook 2 can not be exported to a .csv or Excel file.

Workaround: Make the person(s) inactive (Site Info and change the "Active" status to "Inactive" using the drop-down menu beside the person(s) name and click Update at the bottom of the list)and download Gradebook 2. Change the person(s) back to "active" status once the download is complete. If you make the person inactive, his or her postings, grades, submissions, etc., will disappear, but will reappear when the person is made active again. If you have a non-Registrar course where all students are manually enrolled and you need to export to a file, you will need to use Gradebook until this problem with Gradebook 2 is corrected.

Status: Under investigation.

View Student by Section Does Not Show All Students

Problem: If you View Students by Section in Gradebook or Gradebook2, in some cases you may not see all the students listed here

Workaround:

Go to Site Info and change your role from Instructor to Facilitator using the drop down. Click Update Participants at the bottom of the page.

Go back to Edit Class Rosters and click Add Rosters. You will see the sections to which you have access listed below. Click Select Anyway at the right side of the screen beside each section that you wish to associate to this site. Follow the prompts to finish the process.

Go back to Site Info and Change your role from Facilitator to Instructor

Site Info

Automatic Email from Add Participant not working

Problem: The option to Send an Email, when Adding a Participant to the course site, does not work correctly. The email does not clearly state that the person has been added to a course in e-Learning.

Workaround: Send a mail message to the user with the Mail tool after adding the user to the course site.

Syllabus

Syllabus Redirect Does Not Work Consistently

Problem: The Syllabus tool offers the option to "redirect" which lets you enter the url of a file in Resources or on the web. This option works fine as along as the file you are pointing to is an HTML file. But pointing to a PDF or MSWord file or other type of static text file doesn't always work.

Workaround: Use "create" option instead of "redirect" option or if you want to use "redirect," point to an HTML file.

Tests & Quizzes

T&Q Inputs "Null" in Feedback When Using Markup Text (Cut and Paste from Text Document)

Problem: If you cut and paste from a text document to create the assessment, the word "null" will be inserted into all the feedback boxes. The word "null" does not appear to students if feedback is enabled, so this isn't technically a "bug."

Tests and Quizzes Export Submissions

Problem: Under certain circumstances, test submissions cannot be exported, this is typically seen when we have a large number of submissions (200 or more), when delivered to a select group of individuals, or when random questions are used for delivering the exam.

Scores for Quizzes Delivered to Groups Don't Display in T&Q

Problem: Instructors cannot view the scores for any quizzes delivered to groups in Tests & Quizzes.

Workaround: Currently there is no workaround for this issue and no way to view the scores when delivered to groups, but we are hoping to find a resolution soon. We encourage instructors to transition to Assessments in the interim. Directions for doing so can be found here. In Assessments, instructors can set up a quiz with a password to deliver to select groups. If you need assistance with this process, please call us at (352) 392-HELP.

Audio Recording Questions not Working

Problem: The "Audio Recording" type question does not work. The Audio Recorder will not begin recording.

Workaround: The only workaround available at this time is to require students to create an audio file on their computer and upload it to a "File Upload" type question. This is only practical if you know students have audio recording software.

Facilitators do not See Published Assessments in T&Q (Rare)

Problem: Someone with the Facilitator role may not see the list of published assessments in Tests & Quizzes.

Workaround: Give the user a different role, such as Instructor or Teaching Assistant.

Status: This problem has been resolved for current users, but there are still some courses created on older versions that display this problem. As new courses are created, this problem should disappear.--Jolaine 11:29, 23 January 2013 (EST)

T&Q Table of Contents Allows Students to See Their Scores

Problem: If instructors set up a test to show the Table of Contents, and the "students question and part scores" option is set under feedback (even if "No feedback will be displayed to the student" is chosen), students can see their scores for each question and so can deduce whether or not they got it right and can change their answers while they are taking the test.

Workaround: Change Feedback by unchecking "students question and part scores." This is now the default setting for all tests. If you do want them to see this part of the feedback after submissions are in, you can go back and check the box later.

"Import" Function in Tests & Quizzes can Corrupt Username

Problem: In Tests & Quizzes, the "Import" function does not work and can even cause a corrupted username if attempted. The corrupted username could prohibit the user from accessing the Tests & Quizzes tool.

Workaround: Either create questions one-at-a-time, or cut and paste from a properly formatted text document using the "Create using markup text" option. If you have trouble accessing any aspect of Tests & Quizzes, your username could be corrupted. Contact LSS at (352) 392-4357 option 3, or write learning-support@ufl.edu.

Status: In the latest update, the Import button was removed to resolved this problem.

Some Websites not loading in iFrames

Problem: If one attempts to setup a link to a Website in their e-learning course for ex htps://google.com this would not display. As several sites do not like to load in an iFrame

Workaround: Please create an HTML page in Resources with the URL's you wish to make available for your students, and allow them to launch in a new window. Please contact LSS staff at 392-4357 option 3 if you need additional assistance with this.

Turning Point

TurningPoint Roster Does Not Export to Sakai

Problem: TurningPoint Roster is not integrating with Sakai.

Workaround: None needed - Problem resolved

Status: Resolved with new TurningPoint version 1.1 for Sakai Integration 2.6
